- Abstract
- In recent years the understanding of the behaviour of currently available ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs), in
the form of gas-filled microbubbles encapsulated in elastic shells, has significantly improved thanks to \"ad hoc\"
designed \"in vitro\" studies. However, in several studies there has been a tendency to use high UCA
concentrations, potentially reducing the safety of microbubbles in clinical applications. In this study we
investigated a possible strategy to improve microbubble safety by reducing the injection dose and employing low
ultrasound intensities. We measured the achievable contrast enhancement insonifying microbubbles at different
low concentrations (range 0.01-0.10 ?L/mL) using a very low mechanical index (MI=0.08). Our results, based
on the use of advanced techniques for signal processing and spectrum analysis, showed that UCA backscatter
strongly depends on microbubble concentration also in the considered low range, providing useful indications
towards the definition of an optimal low contrast dose, effectively employable at low MIs. (literal)
